Tara Landon has never experienced love–even worse–she’s endured a lifetime of beatings. After reaching her breaking point, she decides to run away to start a new life without anyone pinning her down or holding her back. 

However, not far into her journey, she is intercepted by soon-to-be alpha Victor Bane, a brooding, mysterious, emerald-eyed man. The thought of him scares Tara as much as it arouses her. 

She doesn’t think much of the encounter until she learns that…oh, she’s destined to be Luna of Victor’s pack. The freedom she sought is quickly ripped away from her and she must make a decision: to accept or reject her fated mate.

“I have you for a lifetime, Tara. I can be patient,” he relayed with an erotic moan.

He looked me in the eyes, as I gestured for him to unbutton my blouse. I whispered, “You might be patient, Victor. But, it isn’t polite to keep a woman waiting.”

“What will it take for you to say yes?” he asked lustfully.

“Something you can’t give.”

The Alpha and His Outlander Luna

There was something happening around me that I wasn't aware of. I didn't know what it was or where it was coming from, but I knew that it was happening and I didn't know how to stop it. There were thoughts going around in my head for days—thoughts about the pack, about Tara and her pack, and about the prisoner we kept in the dungeons. 


My father used to tell me that overthinking led nowhere, and I tried to instill every bit of his ideology the way I ran the pack, but I don't think my father ever faced situations like this. At least not that I saw.


So that's why instead of going to Axel or Evan, I went to the man who started all of this. Sidus.


It was a jarring thing to refer to a former ally as a prisoner now, but I suppose it was an even more jarring thing to look into the eyes of a man who had watched you grow up and know that he had killed your father.
